Dedicated to the kind and caring people who give the lonely ferals a little care, a little love, and a little hope.

I sit beneath the bushes as she fills my dish each day,
I only venture out to eat when she has gone away,
I know it will upset her when I turn away and hide,
As every day she tries her best to get me by her side,
I wish that I could let her know that I don't want to run,
And hope that she will understand it's nothing that she's done,
I'd like to have her stroke me and pat my weary head,
But fear will overcome and I'll run and hide instead,
For all the kindly people who feed the strays each day,
I pray the Lord will care for them as they have cared for me.

Thanks for the poem. It made me think of our favorite feral who lives in our back yard. After I trapped him and had him neutered and vaccinated, he avoided me four about 4 months!!! But, he is finally back and seems so appreciative of our care.

I love that poem. It makes me think of our Frankie who used to be just like that until we finally trapped him. He is now a content indoor kitty who shows no interest in his old ways.
